Two Former Baseball Tigers Getting some National Publicity

2. SP Kevin Gausman, Baltimore Orioles: He sure knows how to impress the Orioles front office in his first full pro season after being picked out of LSU. His ridiculous 29-1 strikeout-to-walk rate in Double-A gives him a chance to move quickly to the majors. The Orioles are not afraid to turn to their top prospects in time of need, as evidenced by Manny Machado's and Dylan Bundy's call-ups last year.

5. SP Anthony Ranaudo, Boston Red Sox: Hey, if we are jockeying Gausman, we have to at least mention Ranaudo, who was a first-rounder out of LSU two years prior. Ranaudo doesn't have Gausman's incredible ceiling, but he is equally scorching in Double-A. Both could be pitching against each other for the AL East title by the end of the end of the season.
